Question

Write the esterification reaction of acetic acid with isopentyl alcohol to  form isopentyl acetate and acetic acid. What is the theortical yield  of isopentyl acetate and which one is the liniting reagent?

Moles of acetic anhydride= 0.023mol

Volume of acetic anhydride= 2.2ml

Molar mass of acetic anhydride= 102.09g/mol

Volume of isopentyl acetate = 2ml

Molar mass of isopentyl acetate = 88.148g/mol

Density of isopentyl acetate = 0.81g/mL

Mass of isopentyl acetate (Actual yield)= 1.887g
